QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Pressure BioSciences, Inc.’s (PBIO) Pending Partner Cannaworx to Launch FDA Registered, Hemp-Containing Supplements with Immune Booster Claim
Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and platform technology solutions to the worldwide biotechnology, biotherapeutics, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food & beverage industries, today announced that its pending merger partner Cannaworx, Inc. will be launching its patented and proprietary immune booster supplement by mid-July 2020. According to the update, the company believes that post-launch, this product could be one of the very few, and perhaps the only, OTC (over the counter), FDA registered, hemp-containing supplements with an immune booster claim. “To further enhance the immune boosting effect, we added hemp seed oil (no THC) to our patented formulation. Hemp seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids (e.g., omega-6 and omega-3) and antioxidants that may help fight inflammation, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease,” Dr. Bobby Ghalili, co-founder and president of Cannaworx, stated in the news release. “Omega-3 is also thought to have a positive impact on the bowel microbiome as a prebiotic, providing further support to the immune system. The manufacturing process of the patented 44 amino acid fragment formulation is highly proprietary, protected, and would be nearly impossible to imitate.”

- Sue Ozdemir has 20-plus years experience in electric motor industry
- CEO focusing on advancing company’s through commercialization with existing strategic partners; also expanding customer base for new opportunities
Canada-based Exro Technologies Inc. (CSE: XRO) (OTCQB: EXROF), one of the world’s proven leaders in the innovation of electric motors, has seen impressive success since the appointment of new CEO Sue Ozdemir late last year. Recognized as an accomplished executive and industry expert with more than two decades of accomplishments in the electric motor industry, including nine years at General Electric, Ozdemir has identified clear objectives for Exro with actual delivery on five major signed agreements since she joined the company.
Ozdemir was a passionate leader in the C-suite of GE, where she proved to be a leader in the innovation and manufacturing of electric motors. Ozdemir spent nine years at General Electric, serving as both CCO and CEO of GE’s Small Industrial Motors Division, overseeing the division’s North American and international markets, and ultimately building the division into a $160 million enterprise.
Ozdemir was also part of the executive team that managed the sale of the division to Wolong Electric, China’s largest motor manufacturer, in July 2018. After successfully completing the sale, Wolong retained her to lead the company’s GE motor division and drive growth towards becoming the number one motor manufacturer in the world.
In the statement announcing Ozdemir’s appointment, Exro noted that its new CEO would focus her passion on advancing the company’s breakthrough technology to enhance the performance of electric motors and power trains with a rapid commercialization strategy, working with existing strategic partners while expanding the customer base for new opportunities (http://ibn.fm/hdMw4).
In a letter sent to shareholders six months after her appointment (http://ibn.fm/6L1oM), Ozdemir noted that “these past few months have been exciting and rewarding as we have seen many developments as we execute our commercialization phase. The team and I are very excited about our future, and I would like to thank you all for your continued support.” Ozdemir added that her “commitment is to close eight strategic partnerships by the end of 2020.”
Exro has inked five partnerships or agreements in key mobility sectors. These agreements include Motorino Electric Bike, Mexico’s motor producer Potencia, e-boat manufacturer Templar Marine, Finland’s e-snowmachine manufacture Aurora Snowmobile and CleanSeed, which is electrifying heavy farm equipment.
“They demonstrate the scalability and versatility of the Exro technology,” Ozdemir stated. “I am very confident that we will close all eight deals this year. The team is working hard to ensure the agreements are strategic and the best fit for our resources and financing. There are ongoing discussions with customers small and large in a variety of mobility applications. We continue to evaluate customer-provided data, which helps us to determine the best fit for Exro and our partners.”
Upon joining the company, Ozdemir stated the following:“Exro is ready to work with strategic partners to utilize our technology to enhance performance and provide solutions for energy management. Clean energy is important to the future of our world. I believe that we are at the cusp of breakthroughs that will change the way we think about the industry. Energy consumption is sometimes taken for granted, but electricity powers so much of what we do, and it’s important that we continue to support breakthroughs that could improve the world for our future generations.”
Exro facilitates the transition to clean energy by providing products and services to manufacturers to increase the efficiency and reliability of electric motors and power trains. Exro’s patented technology enhances energy systems by dynamically sensing and adapting variable inputs and optimally matching them to desired outputs, creating measurable performance gains and extended lifespan. Exro allows the applications to achieve more while consuming less energy.
The widespread applications of the technology apply to optimizing the performance of all variable torque applications. As a company with exclusive technology that brings lucrative benefits in multiple industries, XRO is an attractive opportunity for investors seeking to leverage groundbreaking technology applied in a high growth market.

The Movie Studio Inc.’s (MVES) Unique Business Model Leverages Global Shift to Movie Streaming as Theatres Brace for Severe Losses
- Demand for video-streaming increased as result of lockdowns connected to COVID-19
- Worldwide box office losses estimated in the billions
- Major studios moving to on-demand movie releases as theatres remain closed
- MVES an established independent movie studio with proven growth strategy, digital revenue model
- VOD one of the only industries experiencing increased demand, expected to reach $120.91 billion by 2025
While government-imposed lockdowns have crippled the film industry, video-streaming services have seen increased demand (http://ibn.fm/GLIlH). The Movie Studio Inc. (OTC: MVES), a vertically integrated motion picture production company, is positioned to benefit from this shift by continuing to acquire, develop, produce and distribute independent motion pictures globally via subscription and advertiser video on demand (SVOD/AVOD), over the top (OTT) platforms, foreign sales and various media devices.
The already-fragile entertainment industry took a substantial hit as a result of the forced closure of theatres, with losses estimated in the billions (http://ibn.fm/0zgIc). Besides the rapidly declining numbers at the box office, blockbuster movies were postponed, production schedules were shifted globally, and related industries took a massive hit as audiences hit zero almost overnight.
With consumers being forced to stay at home, studios may continue to be forced to cancel theatrical releases, premiering content online instead through VoD streaming platforms. Disney (NYSE: DIS) led the trend by releasing Frozen 2 on its Disney+ streaming service three months early (http://ibn.fm/jVR2a), in addition to moving up the digital release of the latest Star Wars episode (http://ibn.fm/IWBZF). Though the pandemic’s fallout seems to spell doom for in-person entertainment options, these major shifts in how consumers access their entertainment are creating substantial opportunities for on-demand service providers.
MVES is positioned to leverage this industry shift through its proven revenue-maximizing growth strategy that leverages technological innovation, allowing the company to easily pivot and adapt to the emerging trends of the industry. Through the use of upgraded 4K resolution, along with the purchase of legacy film libraries and the re-monetizing of VOD streaming platforms, MVES is positioned to cost-effectively produce and distribute content of high visual quality similar to its latest releases currently available on Showtime, Comcast and Amazon Prime.
Powered by a digital business model, the company’s revenue stream includes motion picture aggregation and distribution through a direct server access platform that will distribute content globally using a system based on ‘geo-fractured’ territories. MVES’s app, currently available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, releases parts of a film called ‘MovieSodes’ among its other features. A component of of the company’s innovative recurring revenue strategy, the movie is filmed in parts and then later joined together in post-production to create a final product. Besides streaming content, the app also offers an “audition to submission” feature that lets users submit auditions for roles in upcoming movies, driving user engagement and content promotion.
The trend toward online streaming is far from new as the VoD industry enjoyed significant gains prior to COVID-19 as a result of ‘cord-cutting’ – the global phenomenon of consumers canceling multichannel cable or satellite services in favor of internet competitors, resulting in millions lost in 2019 alone (http://ibn.fm/dsZ4u). The lockdowns and their associated negative economic effects are simply amplifying this trend, making VoD one of the only industries experiencing increased demand during this time with a valuation expected to reach $120.91 billion by 2025 (http://ibn.fm/WjV1F).
As the only major independent studio that manages its own in-house marketing and distribution department, MVES further verifies its revenue model by producing micro-budget motion picture content with substantially high production value through the use of 4K technology. The innovative use of technology fuels MVES’s unique production process, allowing the company to significantly reduce expenses while allowing for a high return on investment with each new release.
Originally founded in 1961 as Destination Television Inc., the company changed its name to The Movie Studio Inc. in 2012. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, MVES is ideally positioned to quickly benefit from the changing landscape of video-based entertainment.

About Exro Technologies Inc.
Exro is a clean-tech company that has developed a new class of control technology for electric powertrains. Exro’s advanced-motor control technology, or Coil Driver, expands the capabilities of electric motors and powertrains. Coil Driver enables two separate torque profiles within a given motor. The first is calibrated for low speed and high torque while the second provides expanded operation at high speed. The ability to change configuration allows efficiency optimization for each operating mode, resulting in overall reductions in energy consumption. The controller automatically and seamlessly selects the appropriate configuration in real time so that torque demand and efficiency are optimized.
The limitations of traditional electric machines and power technology are becoming more evident. In many increasingly prominent applications, traditional methods cannot meet the required performance. This means either oversizing the equipment, adding additional motors or implementing heavy mechanical-geared solutions. Exro offers a new solution for system optimization through implementation of its technology, which can yield increased drive cycle efficiency, reduced system volume, reduced weight, and expanded torque and speed capabilities. Exro allows the application to achieve more with less energy consumed. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Exro.com.

PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) Offers Easy Way to Get Great Deals on Vehicles, Using Smartphones
- Industry experts say sales of both new and used vehicles have dropped by more than 50 percent at the end of April 2020 compared to the same time in 2019
- Increasingly motivated to sell, car makers and dealers are offering special deals to entice buyers, including zero-percent financing on multiple models
- PowerBand Solutions’ cloud-based platform helps users get access to such deals online by streamlining vehicle sale interactions among participants and eliminating unnecessary middlemen
With 26 million Americans having lost their jobs in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak and another 25% expecting to lose theirs in the near future, people are hesitant to make or even plan for making major purchases such a new car, but, as Warren Buffett said, “Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.”
The truth is, there has been no better time to land a deal on a new car than now, according to a MarketWatch report (http://ibn.fm/zpZMB), and PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) is there to facilitate any transaction safely and swiftly via its cloud-based auto trading platform, which can be used from smartphones and other digital devices, from any location. That’s good news in the social distancing brought on by the pandemic.
Buying a car may normally includes test drives and multiple trips to the dealership, but social distancing rules imposed by the pandemic have made the customary practices impossible, leaving car makers and dealerships struggling. According to one estimate provided by Cox Automotive, new car sales were down 59 percent year over year and used car sales were down 53 percent at the end of April (http://ibn.fm/u3J0o).
As a result, both auto makers and dealers are very motivated to sell and are already offering special deals and online options to entice buyers. Companies like Chevrolet are offering zero percent financing, which means you’ll only be paying off the principal of a car loan. Hyundai also has a no-interest 84-month offer and deferred payments for four months. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has a zero percent financing, 84-month offer on some 2019 and 2020 vehicles. Kia has a zero percent financing for 75 months offer on certain models, according to the MarketWatch report. To better understand the significance of these offers, it should be noted that car loan rates were between five and six percent as recently as Q4 2019 (http://ibn.fm/KXFx4).
While many dealerships are open, consumers are beginning to demand more ecommerce options in the name of convenience and in light of the restrictions enforced by the pandemic. Ecommerce is already changing the ways in which manufacturers, dealers, and digital car sellers offer customers new and used cars. The compound annual growth of digital sales was 7.61% from 2015-19 compared to 1.73% for total sales. According to the Digital Commerce 360 Online Vehicle Shopper 2019 survey, 49% of buyers are willing to purchase a new vehicle entirely online, while Frost & Sullivan estimates that consumers will be able to purchase as many as 1.3 million vehicles online annually as soon as 2035 (http://ibn.fm/l7GUo).
PowerBand Solutions’ cloud-based auto transaction platform successfully addresses this growing need to sell and buy vehicles online. Developed by a team of experienced automotive, technology and finance experts, the platform was created around the core belief that consumers preferred to conduct automotive transactions online and avoid interactions with unnecessary middlemen. The platform allows consumers to sell, buy, lease, auction and finance vehicles with never-seen-before simplicity, speed and cost-efficiency from their smartphones or other devices, irrespective of their location.
The company is working on commercializing its platform to consumers and automotive dealers and to this end, it has secured a more than $2 million investment from Texas-based D&P Holdings Inc. – one of the largest administrators of automotive warranty and insurance products in the United States, working with more than 850 dealerships nationwide (http://ibn.fm/fpVSH).
The company’s cloud-based platform will soon be advertised across the United States via a partnership with Source Digital, a pioneer in immersive commerce through the use of digital media platforms and video content on the internet. This unique campaign will use Source’s patented technology to promote PowerBand’s platform inside popular video content with various channels and influencers in the U.S. (http://ibn.fm/S686J).

As Auto eCommerce Grows, PowerBand Solutions Inc.’s (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) Platform Pioneering New Car Trading Alternatives
- U.S. vehicle sales totaled about $1.1 trillion in 2019
- 49% of consumers state they are willing to purchase a new vehicle online
- PowerBand Solution’s cloud-based platform streamlines vehicle sale interactions among participants and eliminates unnecessary middlemen
PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) has launched a new platform in the cloud that lets people buy and sell cars and trucks with never-seen-before simplicity, speed, and cost-efficiency. This breakthrough is in line with the growing trend of ecommerce, which is set to change automotive retailing in a major way.
Vehicle trade may be one of the last sectors to be impacted by ecommerce, but ecommerce definitely won’t pass it by. It is already beginning to change the ways in which manufacturers, dealers, digital car sellers and others sell new and used cars to customers (http://ibn.fm/x8nwS).
Forty-one major car makers sell cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles in the U.S. They do this mainly through a network of approximately 17,000 dealerships, according to the National Dealers Automotive Association. So far, websites have mostly been used as a marketing and sales generation channel to attract car shoppers to the dealership’s physical location, where the shopper buys the vehicle.
But PowerBand has realized this is already changing, as a growing number of consumers are turning towards online and ecommerce alternatives, in the name of convenience and in light of the restrictions enforced by the current pandemic. According to the ‘Digital Commerce 360 Online Vehicle Shopper 2019’ survey, conducted among 1,089 buyers, 49% are willing to purchase a new vehicle entirely online (http://ibn.fm/CrCnZ).
Automotive ecommerce is already a sizable market, generating online sales of approximately $14.6 billion in 2018, and it has plenty of room for growth, having the potential to take up a sizable piece of the total automotive transaction market, which reached $1.1 trillion in 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce (http://ibn.fm/YfUuB). The compound annual growth of digital sales was 7.61% from 2015-19 compared to 1.73% for total sales. What is more, this is only the beginning of the trend to buy vehicles online. According to Frost & Sullivan, consumers may purchase as many as 1.3 million vehicles annually online as soon as 2035.
PowerBand Solutions has been one of the first companies to cater to this growing need to sell and buy vehicles online. Developed by a team of experienced automotive, technology and finance experts, PowerBand’s cloud-based transaction platform was created around the core belief that consumers prefer to conduct automotive transactions online and avoid interactions with unnecessary middlemen. The platform allows consumers to sell, buy, lease, auction and finance vehicles from their smart phones or other devices, irrespective of their location.
PowerBand has already successfully launched and conducted ‘virtual’ auctions in the United States together with and D2D Auto Auction LLC. D2D is co-owned by PowerBand and Arkansas-based financier Bryan Hunt, director of J.B Hunt Transport. The highly successful virtual auctions, held on April 7th and April 16th, testified to the speed and efficiency of D2D’s unique transaction platform (http://ibn.fm/sDYYv).
The company is now rolling out the platform across the United States, having partnered to this end with Source Digital, a pioneer in immersive commerce through the use of digital media platforms and video content on the internet. This unique campaign will use Source’s patented technology to promote PowerBand’s platform inside popular video content with various channels and influencers in the U.S. (http://ibn.fm/ixcaO).

Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: KGS) is “One to Watch”
- Well-positioned to capitalize upon the bullish nature of the gold sector; offers potential for silver as well
- Delivering high-quality, diversified exposure and growth optionality in relation to precious metals
- Capitalizing on strong commodity cycles
- Promoting responsible mining practices and supporting surrounding communities
- Uncovering hidden gems to revitalize America’s past precious metals producers
- Offering potential for additional growth through acquisition of new exploration targets
- Exploring and expanding on the success of the historical mines and prospects underlying the Company’s current agreements
- Leveraging an experienced management team with a strong track record of proven success
- Positioning for further growth and to take advantage of the steady increase in demand for gold
Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: KGS), formerly Astorius Resources Ltd., is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in North America. The Canada-based company is focused on sourcing and developing high-quality properties in favorable mining locations to advance its diverse portfolio of low-cost, lifelong assets.
The Company maintains the following projects:
The Mohave Project: Located in the Music Mountains in Mohave County, Arizona. Approximately 35 miles from the town of Kingman, the property consists of 20 lode claims, including the historic Rosebud Mine. The Company has entered into an option agreement to earn 100% over four years. According to historic mappings of the mine, probable ore is 15,560 tons. Possible (inferred) ore is comprised of 176,000 tons, and additional possible (inferred) ore totals slightly over 1,100,000 tons. The total contained gold ounces for all categories is estimated at 664,000 ounces, and contained silver is estimated at 2,600,000 ounces. The Company has recently completed two underground reconnaissance and sampling programs and is in the process of verifying previous resource estimates.
The Cadillac East Property: Located approximately 55 kilometers east of Val d’Or, a hub for exploration and mining activities in the Canadian province of Quebec. The Company acquired a 100% interest in the property from an arm’s length vendor. Cadillac East Property consists of 12 claims, and the Company has an option agreement to earn 100% over three years. Having been the subject of numerous geophysical and geological surveys, the Cadillac East Property has been explored and surveyed by numerous companies as well as by the Quebec government. Exploration work done in 2017 by Exploration Facilitation Unlimited Inc. revealed multiple potential targets for future investigation, as results from the soil program identified value in gold, silver, copper, zinc and nickel.
Kingman Minerals is focused on enhancing shareholder value as it continues exploring potential assets and acquiring strategic gold targets. The company recently commissioned mining consulting services company Burgex Mining Consultants Inc. to complete two underground gold exploration programs in the historic Rosebud Mine. Burgex specializes in mineral exploration, mining claim staking, landman services, mining consulting, and the access and documentation of abandoned mine sites throughout the western United States and the world. Burgex’s founders have been active in the industry since 2007 and have identified, secured and consulted on hundreds of thousands of acres of mineral properties spanning a wide range of mineral commodities with billions of dollars’ worth of resources and reserves. The Burgex team has been featured in Forbes Magazine as well as on the Discovery Channel and other outlets. Burgex is at the vanguard of industry advancements in safely accessing difficult vertical abandoned mine workings and continues to pioneer new mineral exploration methods with strategic partners throughout the United States and the world.
Gold’s Predicted Rise
The value of gold is currently on an upward climb due to COVID-19’s upending of the global economy, causing governments to expand their balance sheets. In 2019, as a result of the housing and financial crisis, gold saw its best performance since 2010 — increasing as much as 20% and hitting a top price of $1,549 per ounce in September of that year. Analysts predict its price will continue to climb due to strong buying by central banks, a weakening of the U.S. dollar, and increasing political tensions. A recent Wolfe Research report predicted gold would hit an all-time high, referencing an ounce of gold that commanded a $1,515 asking price. As the value of the U.S. dollar weakens, the demand for gold is inversely rising. Known as a safe-haven asset, gold tends to see increased levels of demand during times of consumer fear or recession.

Sandy MacDougall – Chairman and Director
An economics graduate from the University of British Columbia, Sandy MacDougall brings 30+ years of experience in the investment banking and finance industry to KGS.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (MCOA) Provides Update on Joint Venture Scio Farm Hemp Project
Marijuana Company of America (OTCQB: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, today provided an update on its joint venture hemp project in Scio, Oregon, operated through Covered Bridge Acres (“CBA”). According to the update, the hemp farm has remained in operation through the Coronavirus pandemic as allowed by the state of Oregon. CBA is taking all necessary precautions required to operate in a safe and responsible manner with sufficient space to enable the team to spread out widely throughout the property while carrying out daily activities to prepare the farm for the 2020 cultivation. Since the 2018 acquisition of the Scio farm, the CBA team has grown CBD hemp, for the sale of both biomass and flower. In light of the current market conditions for these products, due to overproduction in 2019 and slower than expected sales during the pandemic, CBA is changing its 2020 focus to production of high quality CBG (Cannabigerol) flower in its greenhouses. This “artisanal grown” CBG flower will supply the smokable flower market, which has seen an increase in demand and has continued to hold its price in light of the current pressures in the CBD market.

Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) Subsidiary Helomics Leverages Cutting-Edge Tech and Datasets to Improve Cancer Outcomes
- POAI subsidiary Helomics helps oncologists individualize cancer treatment using patient-derived tumor models to improve outcomes
- Helomics’ tumor genomic and drug response database is one of the largest in the world with over 150,000 tumors across 137 cancer types
- Expected CAGR of 10.3% from 2018-2024 for oncology segment of precision medicine industry
The relationship between a patient and their cancer is personal: it’s specific, and it necessitates personalized treatment to be defeated effectively. Unfortunately, oncologists’ ability to personalize treatment for patients has largely been anything but, often resembling a trial-and-error method. This is largely because we have few targeted treatments or enough actionable data about how tumors with specific mutations respond to drugs. One innovator in the cancer research space, Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI), is working to change this dynamic by bringing its cutting-edge, AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response and outcome to cancer research. These models predict how tumors respond to drugs and can be used for both clinical decision support, i.e. individualizing a patient’s therapy as well as research into new therapies, in partnership with the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
With a mission to improve the standard of care for cancer patients, Helomics’ TruTumor(TM) platform harnesses the power of the patient’s own living tumor to address challenges oncologists often face when assessing patients and individualizing treatments. The clinically validated (in ovarian cancer) cell-based functional platform is in use today and profiles patient tumors, identifying key biomarkers and how the tumor responds to drugs and helps the oncologist determine a tailored therapy for that patient.
Helomics’ is building AI-driven predictive models by leveraging; a unique database of 150,000 tumor genomic and drug response profiles gathered from over 15 years of clinical testing using its TruTumor platform; access to over 15 years of outcome data from a national network of oncologists; plus a physical biobank of tumor samples that is being sequenced as part of its CancerQuest 2020 initiative (http://ibn.fm/B9mmE) to generate rich genomic profiles.
Along with subsidiaries TumorGenesis and Skyline Medical, POAI brings precision medicine to the treatment of cancer through collaborations with key players in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic and biotech industries. According to Mordor Intelligence Inc, oncology is expected to have the largest share of the precision medicine industry with estimated market dominance in excess of 30% over other precision medicine segments, and a CAGR of 10.3% from 2018 to 2024 (http://ibn.fm/8fqiH).
POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through its Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (PDx) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a roadmap to help individualize therapy. In addition, the company is leveraging artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug repose to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow.

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) Offers Valuable Consumer Insights in Shifting COVID-19 Era with BIGtoken Data-Driven Platform

- Mother’s Day study showed 68% of users purchased gifts, 49% bought online
- COVID-related survey reveals 67% of users afraid of early reopening, 32% intend to immediately purchase non-essential services
- BIGtoken platform encompasses 16 million users across more than 30 countries with $400 million potential projected revenue by January 2022
As a global society adapts to COVID-19 restrictions, consumer patterns and preferences continue to shift – and insights into these changes are more sought-after than ever before. Brands across all industries seek to leverage valuable consumer data to increase sales, and companies like SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX), a technology company focused on digital marketing and consumer data management, have valuable resources to meet this need. SRAX recently released two studies showing key insights about changing consumer patterns in connection with the COVID-19 panic. Through the use of its BIGtoken platform, SRAX leverages the consumer data of its 16 million users to create valuable data sets that are accessible by marketers for a fee. The company also compensates its users with cash or gift cards when they opt in and give access to their data.
The first BIGtoken study was conducted with Publicis Groupe, one of the largest marketing and communications companies in the world (http://ibn.fm/dd3jV). Using BIGtoken’s Lightning Insights, millions of consumers were surveyed to analyze their buying activities surrounding Mother’s Day, giving insight into how the current economic conditions are affecting consumption patterns. While the results showed that 70% of the study participants felt Mother’s Day was either ‘neutral’ or ‘not important’, 84% still celebrated the day, 68% bought a gift, and 49% made that purchase online.
In addition to the Mother’s Day survey, the BIGtoken platform was also leveraged to research the sentiments of users regarding the reopening of the United States (http://ibn.fm/I8Nq6), revealing that 67% feared it will lead to an increased spread of the coronavirus while 32% intend to immediately purchase non-essential goods and services once the country reopens. According to the survey, the types of businesses that users intend to visit include state parks and beaches (39.7%), supermarkets and banks (37.2%), barber shops and nail salons (33.3%), restaurants (29.5%), and non-essential retail stores (25.6%).
The unprecedented economic landscape created by COVID-19 and the resulting lockdown has prompted many companies to seek unique insights into consumer behavior so they can adapt to the increasingly challenging business environment. Data gleaned from SRAX’s BIGtoken platform provides valuable consumer insights, allowing brands to draw inferences to inform their marketing strategy.
“BIGtoken is happy to play a role in helping brands understand rapidly changing consumer behaviors during this time,” BIGtoken Executive Vice President George Stella stated in a recent news release. “Because our users are compensated as they share their data, we’re proud to put a little money back in their pockets. We look forward to continuing to use our platform to help in this crisis by connecting brands directly with their customers and providing quick, relevant insights and audiences they can activate.”
With over 16 million users across more than 30 countries, SRAX’s BIGtoken platform compensates users in addition to providing brands the ability to target and access specific niche groups across 25,000 unique market segments with the power to submit specialized queries that include location and purchase history. Potential revenue for BIGtoken is projected at $400 million by January 2022, with plans to formally launch into several international markets that include Europe, India and Mexico.
Along with BIGtoken, SRAX also unlocks data for the finance space through Sequire – its premier platform for investor intelligence and communication that allows public companies to track investor behaviors and trends for use in engaging current and potential investors.
With an aim to deliver the tools to unlock the value of data, SRAX’s technology helps brands gain insights across marketing channels in the consumer goods, investor relations, luxury, and lifestyle verticals.
